Members Who Went Said:
The play was clever - some very funny one-liners. The actors were very good. The second half drags a bit.
Brenna Hilarious! This play makes for wonderfully fun night out with friends or lovers!
Anonymous Member It was raunchier than even the description let on. Should come with a stronger warning. |

Event Highlights
More Details About This Event: A period piece at Woolly? What’s going on? In this naughty Restoration comedy, Sir Peter Lustforth has had enough of his wife’s amorous ways and casts his eye on the virginal Hermione--setting off a series of chaotic chases and couplings among a womanizer, a transvestite, a puritanical dame and a helplessly romantic valet. Richly endowed with mistaken identities and abundant verbal delights, Measure for Pleasure is a saucy, silly, foul and filthy treat.
